The last great Tales game imo was Vesperia. I played the hell out of that on my old Xbox 360. Probably put more than 100 hours into it. Every Tales game I've bought since then has been a disappointment.

I'm really hoping Berseria breaks that pattern. So far I'm liking what I see, but it all depends on the character development and story.

And you can mostly tell from how good it looks. My point is all these Japanese devs are still so behind working on games that were originally for legacy consoles. It's a shame as in ps1 and most of ps2 era Japan was so far ahead, now they don't seem to be able to keep up with the scale.

If it makes you feel any better, it's not even coming to PS3 overseas. So this will probably be the last Tales game to be on PS3 anywhere, the next one will be completely unhindered by a last gen system.
